Obama administration meets with gay leaders in Uganda

Two high-level US diplomats from Washington had a one-hour meeting with gay rights leaders in Uganda to strategize against the country’s controversial anti-gay bill.

“They promised to fight hard to make sure the bill doesn’t go through,” said Brown Kiyimba, a gay Unitarian minister and member of Spectrum, a Ugandan lesbian, gay, bi and trans rights group.

Kiyimba was one of five gay rights leaders at the meeting, which took place on Mar 3 at the US embassy in Kampala.
